G'day guys, was just wondering what a good price is for a set of HiLos?

I found these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/MINI-HI-LO-KIT-4-HI-LOS-AND-TWO-EXTENDER-RODS-NEW_W0QQitemZ4581528493QQcategoryZ32072QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
on ebay, good deal?

What have those of you with raised/lowered cars paid in the past?

No the $57.34 is for the pair of struts (tubes) that extend the Hi-Los for the rear. Hi-Los alone are just the 4 alloy plates with a bolt in each. :wink:

Why bother with HiLows when you can set the standard ones to the height you want with a file (lowered). Most people get the height they want then leave them set to that...period.

If you race and set up for differing tracks/ tyres/...etc then yeah get adjustable ones.

Or if you like pouring cash into a hole, you can fill up a big f'n hole in my back yard
